Sweet Baked Ham Supreme
1 (5 to 6 pound) ham
Whole cloves
Meat tenderizer
Accent�
Season-All�
Brown sugar
2 cans sliced pineapple, juice reserved
Maraschino cherries, juice reserved
Cut off the fat and make thin slices across the meat to form
diamonds, about 1 1/2 inches apart. Embed meat with whole cloves,
about 1 inch apart, then liberally sprinkle the meat with
tenderizer, Accent� and Season-All�. Rub liberally with brown sugar
and press against the meat so that liquids soak through the sugar.
Add more brown sugar and continue to press it against the meat until
no more liquids soak through. Using 2 cans of
sliced pineapple, cut the pineapple into 1-inch chunks and place
them on the ham with wooden picks, about 2 inches apart. Between the
pineapple, place maraschino cherries with wooden picks. Put the ham
in a large baking pan.
In the bottom of the pan pour:
1 can Coca-Cola�
1 cup Madeira wine
Juice from 2 cans of pineapple
Juice from bottle of maraschino cherries
1 can undiluted frozen orange juice
Bake at 350 degrees F for at least 3 hours. After the first hour,

cornstarch with water. |
